More symptoms w/2nd (or subsequent) pregnancy?

Hi ladies! I'm 4 weeks along with my 2nd pregnancy, and I'm already feeling symptoms. Achy boobs, bloating, wierd feeling in lower abdomen, etc. I don't think I felt any different until 5-6 weeks with my 1st, so I'm wondering if I'm just more aware this time and if that's common. I've heard 2nd time mommas feel kicks a couple weeks earlier than firsttimers b/c they're more in tune w/ their body's signals after experiencing it before, but I don't know if its the same with other symptoms. Anyone else noticing more symptoms with a 2nd pregnancy than w/their first?

I sure am!! But I'm not sure if I actually have more than I did with my first or that I just know what I should be feeling now! I didn't get a BFP with my son until 13 days after my MP. This one I got BFP 4 days BEFORE MP! I'm thinking there's just no way to mistake this a second time!! LOL

I just found out that I'm pregnant w/ my second. Haven't been to Dr's yet. I thought I was about 6 weeks along when I found out because of the "morning" sickness. But I think I've felt the baby move 2 different times. Think I could be feeling movement that early? Hope so; my oldest is only 9 months!

I am on baby#3 but with my second it was definitely different then the first i was for sure that my second was going to be a girl since it was soo different but nope another boy (no 2 boys) and this pregnancy #3 is different its more like the first one so its really hard to tell and its definitely true when they say all pregnancies are different.

Oh and yes your second time around you do feel the baby move more early and may get bigger faster because you know what it feels like and what you are looking for.

I asked my doc if it was normal to feel worse / more exhausted during 2nd or 3rd pregnancies than the first, and she laughed. She was like, well, people with kids are more exhausted than people without kids anyway, so of course pregnancy will be harder when you already have kids. Not quite the sympathy I was looking for, but I guess reassuring to know I'm normal... Hope the exhaustion lifts for you soon!

So I too am expecting my 2nd and things sure have been different from the start. I felt her alot sooner than my first different symptoms than 1st, different situation than 1st. I think alot has to do with the fact that we have done this before so we kinda know what to expect (or at least we think we doÂ :D ) Pregnancy sure seems to know how to mix things up. LOL

Most definately!! I knew right away that I was pregnant it was weird. Although my ms wasnt anything like the first and my boobs didnt blow up til 12 wks. I did start feeling the baby much earlier and WAY more then my first!! Congrats on the bfp! Hope all goes well in your pregnancy!

I'm 4 weeks too with my 2nd. I didn't feel this much when I was preggers last time. I was 3 months preggo and 19 year old before duhh...I realized I didn't have my period for awhile. This time after a IUI and 27 years of age, I know that I'm definately pregnant at 4 weeks. We blodd test in two days. I'm crampy with twinges, easily irritated, light brown implantation bleeding (didn't have before), craving milk?, and starting to get tired here and there needing rest earlier. Good luck!!! Heres baby dust +++++++++++++++++++++++!!!
